With over an estimated 158,000 homeless people on the streets of New York city alone, homelessness has reached some of its highest levels since the Great Depression of the 1930s, per Coalition For The Homeless. With such high levels of homeless people, begging is a fairly common occurrence when you’re out and about in The Big Apple. Recently, one New Yorker was approached by a beggar — who is allegedly an ex-convict — and he was desperate for some money. However, the brief interaction almost escalated into an altercation, as the impoverished individual attempted to intimidate the New York resident into giving him some money.
